Event Details

The entrepreneurial culture of Silicon Valley attracts dreamers and doers. Many come to the Valley and eagerly take the plunge: they quit their jobs and launch a start up.

Some start ups succeed. Many start ups fail. Most start ups face an array of legal, financial and operational challenges.
